From the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and best-selling author: a beautifully crafted memoir of his lifelong chase after his father's shadow. John was eleven months old when his father, Barney Darnton--a war correspondent for The New York Times --was killed in World War II. John's mother, a well-known reporter and editor, perpetuated a myth of Barney as a hero who gave his life for his family, country, and the fourth estate. Decades after his father's death, John and his brother, the historian Robert Darnton, began digging into the past to discover who the real-life Barney Darnton was.

Intensely moving and vividly descriptive, Almost a Family is the compelling story of one man's search for the truth.
